Collecting Amy Sillman- Mrs. OC Art Blog is The Best

13 Feb Collecting Amy Sillman- Mrs. OC Art Blog is The Best

Posted at 20:51h in ALL by

So I’m right in the middle of trying to aquire a painting by Amy Sillman who I personally think is one of the best and brightest painters working today and I think things are going smoothly when the gallerist out of the blue sends me an email where she apologizes and says unfortunately she has sold the painting. I’m like "What!!" I was bummed out for week I figured now that Amy was on the cover of Artforum it was going to be pretty hard to get that chance again.

Well, to make a long story longer tonight Mrs. OC Art Blog gave me a Valentines present and guess what it was?? Yep, The Amy Sillman painting. I’m a very happy camper. Special thanks to Susanne Vielmetter for helping Mrs. OC Art Blog pull off a sweet one. I had no clue. Happy Valentines everybody….especially to mine.

Here’s the painting:

    Color me all kinds of envious. Congrats. I couldn’t agree more with your assessment of Sillman’s skills. All killah. No fillah.

    Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! I am so jealous I can hardly breathe! I just got her Works on Paper book. She inspires me more than ANY other artist. Her painting is so free and brave it makes me cry.

    Guess what? Amy Sillman has about as much inate vision as a potato. But hey, it’s still art.

    Go back to work on Twelv Christopher. Maybe Amy can help you with that moon that looks like a potato. Spruce it up a bit. Currently it’s like watching paint dry…

    If you like art that looks like it was made by a grunge listening teenage girl
